Well, they had their birthday parties yesterday, all across the country.
The Girl Scouts of the United States of America celebrated a century of existence 100 years to the day when the first troop met in Savannah, Georgia.
Today marks a new day and the beginning of a second century for the organization, which has provided guidance and inspiration to young women across the nation.
Sandpoint's celebration, coordinated by Debbie Love and her team of Girl Scout leaders, brought out 40 scouts, parents and onlookers at the City Council chambers.
With Girl Scout ambassador Melissa Mione acting as emcee and Mayor Marsha Olgilvie reading the official proclamation, the event also featured presentation of certificates and pink fire hats and a tour of the fire station.
This morning's paper features a photo of the girls aboard one of Sandpoint's fire engines.
And, of course, there were refreshments afterward: cake and tasty pink lemonade.
Happy Birthday to the Girl Scouts.
Good job, Debbie and all the dedicated leaders.
May the organization live on to provide a foundation for personal growth and inspiration among millions of young ladies to come.
